I work with the D+E+F team and am on the final stretch on my PhD thesis on social interaction in Mexico. I developed an innovative approach to producing an ethnography of communication which takes into account broader historical and disciplinary contexts to reveal how social resilience is formed through interactions in this highlands community, deep in the heart of Mesoamerica. My background is in languages (German, Spanish) and media and I have worked in various industries, including international finance and media companies.
